Spring Fever Giveaway!!

Oh, how we've been enjoying the 70 degree weather the past few days! I've loved our walks through the woods and playing outside already. I can't wait until spring is really here!

The problem with our playing outside is that, while the exploring is nice, there's kind of nothing to do. My little man has to have a swing set this year! We were planning on getting him one for his birthday last year, but knowing we were hoping to move and not wanting to spend the money on one to leave for the new homeowners, we decided we'd wait. {Not to mention that there was slim pickin's on where to put a swing set in such a hilly back yard!} There wasn't a whole lot D could have done last year anyway. But this year is a whole different story!

He LOVES to swing, slide and climb, so we know he'll love having a swing set in the back yard. We've been scouring the Internet for the best deals and designs to give D the coolest swing set we can come up with. There are tons of different options out there and figuring out exactly what we want is not so easy! Decisions, decisions...

So in anticipation of spring being just around the corner, we have something fun to share!! Some of you may remember this great company called CSN from a while back, but they're back and wanting to offer one of you a $35 gift certificate to use in any of their 200+ online stores!

If I had a $35 gift certificate to a CSN store, this is what I would apply it to, no doubt! I know this cute little bucket swing would serve us well for the next few years!

Derrick sure loved it last year!

And how perfect is this baby sitter swing so you have a place to hang out while the little ones play?!

I had no idea that these even existed! Brilliant! :) I would LOVE one of these!

I could spend all day looking at the swing sets on their website, but I'd love to have your advice. And in turn for your advice, you can have a chance to win a $35 gift certificate from any of CSN's 200+ stores to spend any way you'd like! If you're not in the market for a swing set, no problem. You can buy something for the kiddo in your life, shoes, furniture, a new purse, a new trash can (we have this one and LOVE it!). The possibilities for what you can pick are endless!
